Why Harvey Cedars?

“Teens love the beach and extensive facilities for both structured and unstructured time away. Getting away as a community in the fall enables us to welcome new students, deepen relationships, and set a Christ-centered tone for the school year ahead. Students make lasting memories in this special place year after year!”
“Nice facilities, gracious hosts, and a beautiful location.”
“A lovely location to hold conferences, retreats and so much more!”
“Peaceful and well-maintained grounds, excellent service, delicious served food, great price for the location, access to the clean beaches and ocean, very comfortable rooms, and most of all, a place where truly, Christ finds people and changes lives.”
